Russia Destroys Invincible British Challenger 2 Tank


Britain sent 14 Challenger 2 tanks to the Ukraine with strict orders that the Challenger 2s cannot be deployed at the front lines. Strange orders for a supposedly "invincible" tank. This attracted plenty of doubts and criticisms especially from Ukraine.

Finally last week the Challenger 2 was deployed and was promptly destroyed by the Russians near Robotyne (ra-bo-tee-ne). It is reported that the Challenger ran over a Russian mine which blew up the tank and disabled it. Then a Russian Lancet drone appeared and destroyed the tank completely. Here is an acknowledgement by the British MoD 


The Challenger 2 tank costs over RM24 MILLION each. It was blown up by a Russian anti-tank mine and a drone that cost just a few thousand Pounds Sterling.

Where are the 13 remaining Challenger 2 tanks? Back into storage?
